Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent to add a warm feel to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire that is available.
If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for your fireplace and adhere to all safety rules, then your fireplace stove should operate safely.
Ease of installation
Ethanol fires are a simple and easy option for homeowners looking to change the look of their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. You don’t require chimneys and they won’t emit dangerous smoke. Soot won’t accumulate on your walls or ceilings.
It doesn’t matter if you choose an entire fire suite – for example, Mano Mano’s Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and requires no specialist help. All you have to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the directions for your specific model.
If you choose a wall fireplace-mounted ethanol fireplace Most come with the hardware that allows them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV, or placed in the wall. You’ll need to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions, but it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.
You can also select between manual and automatic bioethanol burning devices. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, so that it can burn longer without the risk of overheating or running out of. A manual burner works in the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you’ll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It’s important to remember that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don’t cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great option for people who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don’t have the money or time to install a wood or gas fireplace. They are perfect for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. And, because they do not generate soot or ash, there’s no issues with maintenance also.
Styles and designs
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look and others sport a sleek and modern design. Whatever the design the fireplaces all have the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.
The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated at the bottom of the electric fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is then lit with a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the flames are set and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, sit back and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.
Some ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat the fireplace produces.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash, which are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.
Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. The exact installation time will depend on the model that you choose. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can also choose an open-air fireplace which you can take with you in the event of a relocate, which makes it an ideal option for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a key factor for many consumers, and it is something that should not be overlooked when looking for the perfect fireplace.
No flue
The major advantage that bio ethanol electric fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don’t need an exhaust pipe to run. There is no danger of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or blockage.
A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn’t produce many particles, which could affect the air. This is great for people suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there isn’t any smoke produced by the fireplace and therefore it doesn’t create a bad smell in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don’t lose heat to the chimney, which means it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about catching fire which could be dangerous for any valuables.
There are a variety of designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick one that is wall-mounted for modern, sleek design or a recessed unit which will blend in with the design of your space.
Another thing to think about is whether you want either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will light your fire automatically when the tank is empty.
It is crucial to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. If you don’t do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start again.
Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure you have enough time to properly put out the flames, and make sure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left away from the reach of pets and children.
Easy maintenance
The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then lit. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled with an adjustable slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
When the fuel is burned, it creates tiny amounts of soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping down the white fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the fireplace is filled with the correct fuel and making sure it’s a safe distance away from any flammable items or equipment.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and you don’t have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility in the design of your home and also where you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you direct the flame and heat to the desired area of the room. You can even mount an electronic remote control on certain designs to have full control from the comfortable sofa.
For maximum versatility, many of the plug and play’ wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow you to connect them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be in a position to turn it off or on, adjust the flame height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
If you’re not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is off and is away from any flammable materials or equipment. Do not add any fuel into the burner until it has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be careful when handling it as it is extremely hot.
